Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft and a renowned philanthropist, let loose a swarm of mosquitoes at a technology conference in California to highlight the dangers of malaria.
‘Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,’ the Microsoft founder yelled at a well-heeled crowd at a technology conference in California.
’I brought some,’ he added. ‘Here, I’ll let them roam around – there is no reason only poor people should be infected.’

An hour ago I have announced all en1813.com users that the game is alive again. :-)
As spanish internet users are in love with Hotmail accounts, I could see that the old Hotmail “vacation response” hack still lives. In 2007 and again in 2008, Hotmail users reported something that they believed that is a big hole in Hotmail security as many spammers took control of the “vacation reply”.

This blog is kind of new on the internet. I started it couple of months ago using a sub-domain of downloadwin.com but I’m writing an article once in 2-3 days.Yeah, I know. This will not stand me out from the crowd, as John Chow advised us to do, but I’m trying to make faster steps and share more things here.
Anyway, RW. There are no more than 200 pages indexed in Google. There are 55 articles with 47 comments. There are no drafts :-) (unusual, if you ask me!) and some functions are not working properly (showing trackbacks, showing article views, etc.).

Couple of days ago, a human error blocked the entire Google Search Engine for 55 minutes. Some of the blogs I read from time to time wrote about the fact that Cuil.com may be used instead of Google.
Results for downloadwin.com are online poker, weather tracker, blackjack cassino and others, related to those 3. Where is the relevance of this search engine?
Google warning interstitial: Visiting this web site may harm your computer! Is it a virus or a Google power demonstration that should show us the internet without Google Search?
LE: The blocking demonstration is not only for english content on google.com. Also all spanish based Google search engines are down. Este sitio puede danar tu equipo
Human error: This is the final edit of this article. It was a simple and human error, said Google, and this Google glitch causes confusion, said StopBadware.org. The internet is safe now. :-)
Few hours ago, Google changed its main page, inserting under each and every result a “This site may harm your computer.” link.
As this seemed to be too easy, Google changed also the links to all results websites. This being told, picking and clicking any search result will redirect you to an interstitial page that will block everything and let you with only 2 suggestions.
1. Return to the previous page and pick another result.
2. Try another search to find what you’re looking for.
As far as I can see, StopBadware.org, the website recommended by Google interstitial page to help me in this matter and give me more info about the fact that I cannot view a specific page, is down. Also it has a curious Whois.
Later Edit: Everything is ok now… Google stopped showing “This site may harm your computer.” link and interstitial page.

So you have heard a lot of stories about duplicate content, about the fact that Google may index your content twice, once with www and once without.
As far as I seen it, Google did indexed downloadwin.com twice and I have updated about 2 minutes ago the .htaccess file with this lines:
